I've reverted edits at Flag of the Republic of China
I've reverted your edits at Flag of the Republic of China.

1) You removed the picture because you said "not really relevant and quite frankly a misuse of the flag's symbolism" but this is a gallery photo and does not make any direct claims about its symbolism

2) You state "the Republic of China was a military dictatorship, how does that “represent democracy”" . The flag wasn't used at HK protests to demonstrate the past military dictatorship; and using your logic, anybody's use of Taiwan's flag (including those in Taiwan) symbolizes a military dictatorship. Should the flag then be removed from all of wikipedia? MowerBreeze (talk) 07:21, 10 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I am pointing out that it is absurd that the protestors are using this flag as a "pro-democracy" symbol when the ROC was historically a military dictatorship that was certainly not a "democratic" regime. It is equivalent to Euromaidan protestors waving an Imperial Russian flag because it represents "anti-Soviet sentiment", the HK protestors represent a movement that opposes what the Republic of China historically stood for, and would be misleading for readers as they would assume HK protestors support a restoration of the ROC (which they don't). Furthermore, pointing out that the ROC was historically a military dictatorship does not imply that all pages in Wikipedia that use the ROC flag for historical/educational endorse military dictatorship, that is akin to saying a Wikipedia page depicting the Nazi German flag is meant to endorse Nazism which is certainly not what I said. Furthermore, even though you disagree with my reasoning for omitting the picture, you should only have restored the picture and not reverted the rest of the edit. 08:20, 10 August 2022 (UTC) 2001:569:7C0E:300:2534:5630:B90C:E107 (talk) 08:20, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Considering the emblem of the flag was created in Hong Kong in 1895, it is not too "absurd" to that it is in the gallery. Additionally, it is not up to you to determine whether it was incorrectly used by the protestors, or whether it is absurd or not. The fact remains that it was flown at many protests in Hong Kong, and its spot in the gallery can be warranted. MowerBreeze (talk) 12:40, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
